Pysyft: Record number of send/recv

[gmuraru]

Feature Description

Add a method (at the Worker level) to record how many messages you send/receive.
The simplest solution that comes to mind is:

• keep 2 dictionaries (one for sent messages and one for received messages)/or only one, where the key is the Type of Message and the value is a counter (how many messages of this type we received/sent)
• keep a total_sent_payload/total_received_payload variable (at the worker level)
• when doing print(worker) display the above information (maybe when we have the verbose flag on)

Is your feature request related to a problem?

This will help us to have a better understanding of the communication overhead.

@gmuraru i want ot work on this issue.Can you assign me?
Also which code file are you referring to include feature?

Hey @AnshuTrivedi.
As a first Proof of Concept and check if it works I think it is best to look at the VirtualWorker class <-- there should be a send/recv methods.

Hello! Just letting you know that we are no longer planning on supporting anything on the 0.2.x product line and that all work should be ported over to 0.3.x, which is considered a complete rebuild of PySyft. Because of that, I'll be closing this issue. If you feel this is a mistake, or if the issue actually applies to 0.3.x as well, please feel free to ping me on Slack and I'll reopen the issue.
